I'm sure people were trying to buy Casino Drive while he was in NY leading up to the Belmont, especially with that pedigree (Better Than Honour, half to 2 Belmont winners).

With mad respect... you went with Casino Drive? OK who is next AP's sibling.. Its a farce they dont NEED to have Jap runners Belmont day IF they deem it inappropriate or unworthy of 1.5 mi and a classic title.. Let Mark Hennig run some 90+ BSF in a dopey allowance race for 400K and get back to me
